The difference between ATY fabric and cotton fabric

The characteristics of ATY fabrics. At present, the raw materials of ATY fabrics on the market are mainly nylon and polyester. Among them, polyester has a more obvious price advantage.

In fact, after so many years of development, chemical fiber fabrics are no longer the low-end goods and stalls that people think of. On the contrary, many high-tech products are made of chemical fiber raw materials, such as medical artificial blood vessels and aviation aerospace, clothing, etc. In the past two years, many ice silk fabrics, air-conditioning fabrics, and quick-drying fabrics that are very popular on the market are made of chemical fibers.

The polyester used in the cotton feeling fabric is still somewhat different from ordinary polyester in the production of raw materials. It has undergone a special process to change the characteristics of polyester from the appearance and the inside.

First of all, it disrupts the neat polyester fibers. In the light reflection, because the polyester fibers appear messy and form a diffuse reflection, the light reflected the human eye appears softer, close to the reflection of light by cotton. Secondly, a matting agent is added to the polyester fiber to reduce the reflection of light. In addition, the disturbing polyester fiber will produce a lot of small fluff, which gives people a soft and comfortable touch, which is close to the feel of cotton. In this way, the fabric produced is closer to cotton in terms of appearance and feel.

At the same time, it does not have many of the shortcomings of cotton, such as shrinkage, ease to wrinkle after washing, etc., which will not appear in ATY fabrics. Moreover, polyester has good weather resistance, such as light resistance, heat resistance, and mildew resistance, which can make up for the lack of durability of cotton fabrics. Polyester has a large initial modulus, is stiff, is not easy to deform, and has good shape retention, making up for the shortcomings of cotton fabrics such as easy wrinkle, easy deformation, and non-abrasion resistance.
